2017 Opioid Abuse and Heroin Overdose Summit

2nd Annual Opioid Abuse and Heroin Overdose Solutions Summit

Moving Forward to Affect Change

The opioid abuse and heroin overdose epidemic is a national crisis. 78 Americans die every day from an opioid-related overdose. It is a life-threatening and community-damaging crisis that crosses all demographics, affecting families, resulting in job loss, increasing the cost of health care, and vastly impacting law enforcement. In partnership with Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority, on May 11, 2017, we joined together to increase our knowledge of new policies, programs, and institutions that have been developed to change how we address this widespread disease. We were presented with the most current data, explored our progress and collaborate to implement new strategies and action plans to further our fight with this crisis. As a community, it is imperative that we work together to find solutions to health care issues such as these. We hope you will join us as we continue to fight this epidemic.
